COOL MEN WITH GUNS
INSTANCES IN WHiCH SHARPERS AND
ROBBER$ MET THEiR MATCHES.
Sharpers Fesesed by a Graybeard From Cass
County—Road Agents'Wbo Didn't Know
Haskell, the Peed Shot Sheriff, Was
0 LeaSvillo Stage; - • .
"An oaourrence some years ago that
amused me was the experience of a gang
of confidence men with an old than on a
Kansas railroad," said a former commer-
cial traveler. "At the station in Atchison
one afternoon just before the Santa Fe
train p out for Topeka the eharpere
tri rk a game on some one, but
were interrupted, and their aobome fell
through. They piled aboard the train as
the bell rang and set in to work off their
111 temper by chaffing and maltreating the
passengers about them. Presently there
entered at the rear door of tbo coaoh a typ-
ioel southwestern fanner—a tall, old man,
with grizzled, patriarchal board, steeple
crowned hag and long linen duster, As be
etrode along the aisle, his gaze bent on the
coach ahead, one ef the sharpers reached
from behind and pulled him back by the
coattail.
" 'Hold on, old fellow,' be said. 'Don't
curry. D'you think you're bound some-
where or going to stay awhile with us?'
"The old man turned, his beard bris-
tling, his eyes fluebing the. His hand went
down to his bip„pooket and Dame back
/clutching the butt of an extraordinarily
( long barreled revolver.
J " 'I'm from Cass oounty, Mo.,' he said,
but got no further. Tho sharper let go the
ooattriil and throw up his hands.
" `I see you are,' be gasped. 'I only
wanted to find out. For God's sake, let
the rest of that pistol stay where it is and
go along as soon as you want to. Never
mind us.'
"The old man glared a moment on the
confidence men as if undecided whether to
let the matter drop at that, then turned,
pushed the pistol back whore Resole from,
and, still keeping his hand on tho butt of
it, went on through the car. The sharpers
subsided and were perfectly orderly dur-
ing the rest of the trip.
"One of the biggest and most satisfac-
tory surprises ever rung in on a stage load
of passengers occurred when I was travel-
ing in Colorado almost 20 years ago.
There had been a great many hold ups on
the stage line then recently started be-
tween Pueblo and Leadville. So, as I was
making my second trip over the route, the
passengers were lees astonished than they
might have been when,,at about 10 o'clock
of a moonlight night, the driver pulled
the horses up short at a sharp command
from some one by the roadside and a face
masked with a red handkerchief appeared
at the window. A pair of cocked revolv-
ers emphasized the words:
" 'Hands up I Got out, every one, and be
1tvely I'
"There was nothing to do but get out,
and one by one men and women alighted,'
and, nine in number, all holding their
hands above their heads, were silently
ranged into line along the trail by two
masked men, each holding in his bands a
pair of revolvers. A third robber, near
tbe horses' heads, kept the driver oovered
with a pistol.
' 'Keep perfectly quiet,' said one of the ,
robbers, 'and nobody'11 be hurt.'
"Then while one man stood guard over
the passengers with hie pistols the other
searched the passengers ono by one, reliev-
ing them deftly of watches, purses, pocket-
books, jewelry, weapons, all of which he
dropped Into a flour seek that he alerted.
I stood seventh in the line, and next me
was a man whom I had picked up an ac-
quaintance with on the trip. He looked
to be about 80 yeare of age and was very
quiet of manner. Ho was rather reserved
in talking at first, but as this wore off
proved a pleasing and interesting travel-
ing companion. From his dress and evi-
dent knowledge of the country I had taken
him to be a ranchman or small mine own-
er. He had thrown bands up at the word
and came out of the stage with the rest of
ns and seemed to bo taking the hold up
very coolly, so much so that a suspicion
crossed my mind that he might bo a con-
federate of the robbers.
"The man who was searching the pas-
sengers had thrust his revolvers intothe
sotibbards et his hips, so as to leave his
hands free. Ho bad come to nee and, feel-
ing for weapons in my hip pockets, had
stooped forward a little. I was following
orders in keeping my head well up and so
could not see just how it happened, bet
I saw the robber start backward, make a
movement with his right hand toward his
pistol on that side, just as a revolver shot
crashed direotly in front of me, and the
robber event down on bee back. Before
ho struck the ground the revolver cracked
twice again, and the robber who was cover-
ing the crowd with his pistols dropped
them, spun half round and fell on his face.
As the robber had stooped to search my
hip pockets the man beside me bad
snatched ono of his revolvers from its scab-
bard and shot him dead with his own pis-
tol, then killed the other robber before the
later could fire a shot.
"Before I oould fairly realize what was
taking place my fellow passenger sprang
toward the man at the horses' hea(js.
They exchanged shote, and then the rob-
ber turned and dashed into the darkness
among the trees and rooks, the passenger
following him. The flashes and cracking
of three or four pistol shote oamo to us out
of the darkness, and then the passenger
returned with an empty pistol. Ho had
3rad irrenningleghte itis "theertt UO`i'-it"iefre
was himself unhurt. Whether any of his
-shote had landed he could not tell. He
redo n torch of pinon pine and examined
the two dead robbers, taking from their
bodies whatever might servo to identify
them, keeping each man's th:ags carefully
separate. He also asked the rest of us to
look to see if any one recognized either of
the robbers. The valuables in the ,pour
sack he took oharge of until we got to the
next stage station, where each owner
claimed hie property.
"The businesslike *ay in which he act-
ed throughout the whole affair was ex-
Splained when we learned that our quiet
fellow passenger was Jim Haskell, the
resole)r shot sheriff of one of the
fnu-tt',e lorado conntiee, traveling on
affiii. is own. The two dead robbers
were found where we had left them and
were Identified as tough Leadvlllo change
tors who had gone out on the road to raise
a stake. "—New York Sun.

Passage Through Gibraltar.
alitnatives of Gibraltar and also the
Ei names the strait have a tradition
that somewhere on the rook there exists a
cavern whence a enbterranean passage
loads under the strait to the mountatne on
the other side. Tho existence of this pas -
sago, they say, is known only to monkeys,
who regularly use it in passing from one
continent to the other.
AFTER A SEVERE COLD.
"Hood'e Sarsaparilla cured me of scrof-
ula. I was weak and debilitated and
Hood's Sarsaparilla built me up and made
me strong and well. Atter a severe oold I
had oatarrhal fever, 1 again resorted to
Hood's Sarsaparilla, which accomplished a
complete cure." SABAH E. DLvev, Annapo-
lis, Nova Scotia.
HOOD'S PILLS are the favorite family

Royal Marriage by Proxy.
One of the queerest features of court life
in Europe is the marriage by proxy of
royal personages. Tbere ere at the present
moment no less than three royal ladies
who have been thus wedded—the queen
regent of Spain, the dowager queen of
Portugal and the ex -queen of Naples,
Kings and reigning sovereigns are held to
be too important personages to be married
anywhere else than in their own dolnin-
idna On the other hand, It is held to be
infra dignitate for a spinster princess of
the blood who is about to blossom forth
into a full fledged queen or empress to
travel abroad in quest of a consort. In
order to meet this difficulty the royal or
imperial bridegroom delegates one of the
prino(pal nobles of tho realm, who goes
through the reltgioue and civil portion of
the wedding ceremony in the capital of
the bride's country on behalf of his mas-
ter, making the responses for him and
tendering his hand, as well as the ring, at
the prescribed pointe of the ceremony. He
thole accompanies her to his master's do-
minions, acting as her chief escort. Ac-
cording to the ideas of the ahurob, a cere-
mony of this kind is sufficiently binding
upon the bride and upon the royal bride-
groom to render any further oeremony,
ecclesiastical or civil, superfluous, and
when any additional religious function
takes plane it usually assumes the form of
a "Te Doum" and a solemn benediction,
attended by both husband and wife im-
mediately on the arrival of the latter in
the capital of her adopted country,—San
Francisco Argonaut.
Rnsslan Royal Splendor.
No western imagination can easily con-
ceive an idea of the splendor with which
the Russian rulers are habitually sur-
rounded. Chairs and tables of solid silver,
Ivory thrones ablaze with brilliants and
sapphires, walls of amber and floors of
mother of pearl. These things sound like
an eastern fable, but therefor has them all.
At Moscow, in the great palace within the
sacred Kremlin walls, there are not only
crowns, orbs and scepters oovered with
diamonds, but also saddles, stirrups and
sets of harness covered with similar gems.
There are hundreds of swords, daggers and
ecimeters the sheaths of whtoh are liter-
ally masses of pearls, rubies and tur-
quoises. Ram tapestries, marvelous china
from Sevres and Japan, flawless gems
from Asia, priceless antique manuscripts
and jeweled book covers—tbeee are a few
of the objects scattered about the czar's 12
palaces with a royal prodigality.—Pear-
son's Weekly.

"I have been a great sufferer from ner-
vous debility and its effects for a number of
years. I couldn't sleep, and would lie
awake for hours and brood over matters of
very little consequence. I became very
despondent, at times not oaring whether I
lived cr died. My appetite wee poor, and
very slight exertion caused such shortness
of breath that I could hardly move. Lat-
terly the condition of my heart has caused
m° great uneasinese. Sometimes I had a
sharp pain through it, so that I was afraid
to take a long breath, fearing it would be
my last. I was very weekend had no en-

and as a result have been getting better
very fast. I now sleep well and feel as
cheerful as a cricket. My appetite has re-
turned, and my nerves have not been as

to its normal condition ; I cannot notice
anything wrong with it to -day. These pills
have certainly proved a grand remedy in
my case, and I heartily recommend them

Three Kinds of Theft.
.A Paris court recently acquitted 0 young
married woman arrested for stealing near-
ly 200 black, silk cravats for men. In the
course of the trial kleptomania was die -
cussed and shop thefts divided into three
classes—conscious, semiconscious and un-
conscious. Conscious theft, it was de-
clared, may be premeditated or unpremetl-
itated; type of the former the professional
shoplifter with her big pocket; of the lat-
ter the woman who suddenly yields to an
irresistible temptation. Semiconscious
thefts ere the result of." temporary modifl-
cetions in the intellect with momentary
diminution of the mural sense," and those
are frequently committed by most respect-
able Amen "under determined conditions
of sanitary trouble."
Parisian shoplifters have of late taken
to pleating pregnancy and an overpower-
ing desire, but the medical experts and
others apply an infallible test. The pro-
gs`n.ti takes till s can 1 -ay her hands
on and seeks to dispose of it. Tho preg-
nantwuman always steals the same thing,
and having stolen it and satisfied her
craving makes no attempt to profit by the
theft. Frequently, as in the ease of the
men's cravats, it is a useless or absurd
article she affects. The unconscious klep-
tomaniacs often make no effort to conceal
the article stolen. This condition is fre-
quently the symptom of the beginning of
a mortal organic affection.—New York

MINDFUL OF THE HORSES.
A Statesman Narrates a Tale of Ina Trials
and Tribulations.
"A prophet is not without honor save
in his own country," quoted the reporter
to a distinguished statesman.
"Nor a member of °engross save In hip
own district," responded the statesman to
whom he was talking, and wbo happened
to be a representative from a state whose
name shall not bo mentioned here.
"Are they so loicl atl,%batl"
"Well," laughed the statesman, "be
good for a few minutes and I'll tell you a
story. When I was running for congress
in my seoond race—that Is to say, for re-
oleotion—I bad one appointment in the
most remote oounty to which I had to go
alone, my traveling oos,snpanton having
been taken sick. I knew only a few of the
people, as it was very strongly the other
way, and I did not oultivate it very zeal-
ously, and I scarcely knew the country at
all. However, 1 got in a speech one night,
and after it was over was pinking my way
back to the house where I was to sleep. In
tho course of my wanderings 1 struck an
old shack of a railing, and the next tbleig
I knew I had gone through it and dropped
into a well of some kind, very large and
with perhaps four feet of water in it. I
wasn't hurt, but I was seared, and I set
up a lusty shout, wbicb soon brought a
couple of men to the rescue.
"'Who's there' called one of them down
through the dark.
It's me,' I answered, 'Colonel Blank,
the member of oongreee. Help me out of
this.'
"In response to this there was a ooasul-
tation, most of which I heard.
"'Oh, I say, Blll,' laughed tbe one who
bad first called, as if talking to some one
farther away, 'it's that congressman
that's been makin the powwow at the
schoolhouse.'
"'Goshariny 1' hawhawed the other one.
'Let's let him stay thar. It'11 only be one
congressman less, and him the ono we
want to beat.'
Dern of I wouldn't like to,' said the
first hesitatingly, 'but of we do It'll °pile
the well, and what'll the bosses and cows
do for drinkin water?'
"What other pleasing reflections they
might have cast upon me," concluded the
gentleman, "I don't know, for I became
impatient and set up such a row that they
were forced to oome to my assistance in a
hurry." --Washington Star.

Science is Right 99 times in a Hundred—
Medical Science says that Pills and Pow -
dere will not Dissolve the Solid Secre-
tions which cause Kidney Disease—It
Lae proven that a liquid Kidney Specific
will do so, and Tbousunds have Testified
that South American Kidney Cure, a
Liquid Specific for Kidney Disease, has
done so.
The secret of the success of South Am-
erican Kidney Cure is the fact that it be
solely a kidney epecifio. It dissolves the
uric acid which is really the base of all kid-
ney diseases, And it is only when these
secretions have been dissolved and eradi-
cated from the system that a cure can be
hoped for. Pills and powders from a med-
ical standpoint of commonsense, Dan hard-
ly be expected to do what this liquid reme-
dy has done. The people are learning it.

LANGUAGE OF CHILDREN.
Curious Vocabulary of Tots—They Are In-
olined to Short Out Phrases.
.A portmanteau word is a word whioh
has another word packed inside it, or, to
put it in another way, two worde and two
ideas are run together, and a compound,
which to also a newsevord, ie produced.
For example, a girl of under 8 was lately
told that she was going abroad, and also
that slio was going to reach foreign parts
by going on board ship. A mere grown
up person would have plodded on, Being
the two phrases side by side. But at a al
the mind is too alert for these dull were,
and es portmanteau word %vas Boon pro-
duced. "When am I going abroadshlpeP"
became a half hourly question. How
touch more expressive and bow much less
loug than "When am I going abroad on
board ship?" Both the ncwand important
ideas of foreign travel and sea voyage are
covered over by that "one narrow word,"
"ahroadships." 'There is, of course, noth-
ing the least remarkable In such a com-
pound. !+'.very nursery can furnish exam-
ples of new words which often display far
more euphony and also far trotter loglo
than the dreadful words produced by the
men of science as lapels for their new dis-
coveries in tho regions of applied chem-
istry.
The speech of children shows also a won-
derful quickness and resource in the mat-
ter of supplying the language with direct
phrases and forms of speech. While the
grown ups are content to wrtlk around, the
child takes a verbal short out. Children
are very seldom content with such round-
about devices as "Had not I bettor" do
this or that. "Bcttorn't I" is the much
marc direct and much more expressive
form adopted in altnost all nurseries.
Take, again, the word "whobody" to
match with "anybody" and' somebody."
When the facetious parent remarks,
"r.uulebody's been walking on this flower
bud," he may, if his offspring is inclined
to ingenuities of language, be answered
by the interrogation, "Whobody?" These
portmanteau words and short out phrases
show that if children could only bo in-
duced to keep up the verbal habits prevalent
from 2 to 5 our language might be Indefi-
nitely enriched. unfortunately after 5 or
b the language of children is apt to become
pedantic:Ally conventional and correot.—

NOT A SiCK DAY

RESULT OY USING
AYER'S PILLS
"Ayer's Cathartic Pills for over thirty
years have kept me in good health,
never having had a sick day in all that
time. Before I was twenty I suffered
almost continually—as a result of con-
stipation—from dyspepsia, headaches,
neuralgia, or boils and other eruptive
diseases. When I became oonvinced
that nine -tenths of my troubles were
caused by constipation, I began&the use
of Ayer's Pills, with the most satisfac-
tory results, never having a single
attack that did not readily yield to this
remedy. My wife, who had been an
invalid for years, also began to use
Ayer's fills, and her health was quickly
restored. With my children I bad no-.
tired that nearly all their ailments were
preceded by constipation, and I soon
had the pleasure of knowing that with
children as with parents, Ayer's Pills,
if taken in season, avert all danger of
sickness."—H. «'ErrsTEtx, Byron, Ill.
